Dividend History: A Consistent Growth Trajectory

GM Breweries has maintained an uninterrupted dividend record stretching back to at least 2014, with payouts growing at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 10.6% over the eleven-year period from ₹2.50 in FY2014 to ₹7.5 in FY2025. The progression is detailed below:

Notably, no dividend was announced for FY2020, FY2021, or FY2024 based on the available exchange filings, which may reflect the operational disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic in the earlier years and a possible interim gap year in the most recent cycle. Investors should verify FY2024 payout data independently through NSE disclosures.

Company Background

GM Breweries Limited is a Maharashtra-based manufacturer and seller of country-made foreign liquor (CMFL), operating primarily in the mass-market alcohol segment. The company sells its products under brands distributed through the Maharashtra state government's regulated liquor retail network. The business is characterised by relatively stable volumes given the regulated pricing and distribution environment in its home state.

Q2 FY2027 Results Pending

Separately, the company's Board met on October 8, 2026, to consider un-audited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 (Q2 FY2027). These results had not been published at the time of this report. Investors should monitor the NSE corporate announcements portal for the filing, as the quarterly numbers will provide the most current picture of revenue trajectory and margins ahead of the next annual dividend decision.

What It Means for Investors

The consistent step-up in dividends signals management's confidence in free cash flow generation. The shift from a flat ₹2.50 payout held across three consecutive years (FY2014 to FY2016) to the current ₹7.5 level reflects both volume growth and improved profitability over the decade. For income-focused investors, the regularity and growth of the dividend are the primary quantitative signals available from exchange disclosures. Full valuation context, including PE ratio relative to the beverages sector, requires current earnings and price data not available in this filing.
